Correct Scoliosis – The secret is in the movement
What makes the SpineCor brace different, what makes it so effective? The difference lies is in the concept of the brace. Rigid braces work by forcing the spine into position, with the 3-point pressure principle. Rigid braces, however, are much like a cast in the fact that their use promotes muscular atrophy, which can destabilize the spine.
The SpineCor brace is a semi-soft dynamic brace that does not physically force the patient’s spine into position, but rather assists the patient into maintaining what is called the Corrective Movement. The Corrective Movement Principle is based upon the concept that each type of scoliosis has a postural movement that will unwind the patient’s scoliosis and straighten the spine. The elastic bands that comprise the SpineCor brace are then applied in certain configurations to keep the patient in their corrective movement.
